Bucks and fences

Most bucks are HARD on fences. When I was talking with my new boer herd sires previous owner she had stated that he was EASY on fences. Well you are going to LOVE this!
I went out to milk and feed this morning, My routine is I get my milkers done, then go feed. Well, I guess he decided that I should pay attention to HIM and HIS pen FIRST!... When I got my milker out he was standing at his gate looking at me and you could tell he wanted to be first. I went and milked, and when I was coming back around the corner I caught sight of him... He LITERALLY had taken his horns, put them UNDER the gate and lifted... And UP OFF THE HINGES it came! LOL!!! Him and the girls came prancing straight out almost like a prize fighter after winning a tough round... That's been over an hour ago and I am still chuckling over it! He is a SMART goat! (of course, a lot of them are! lol)

I guess he showed you who's more important & needs fed first! Hahaha!

It's cute the first time, it's not so cute when the gate stays off the hinges more than on!

To stop it, turn the top hinge down and the bottom hinge up. It takes some work to get the gate on their nice and tight, but the gate will stay where you want it.

hahahaha! I had a percheronXwalking horse who would do that as a yearling colt. He hated to be left alone in a paddock. We had to rig up the gates so he couldn't lift them. He died along time ago, but he was the world's best horse ever!
